We encourage women to use their bodies for sport, for fashion, for art, for drama, for motherhood... who are you to say that they shouldn't by their own free-will do another profession or service?
Sex work is still work. People will choose to do it for a wide variety of reasons. Online they can be completely in control of how they do it and who they choose to work with and for.
You can be a prude if you wish, but sex work is one of, if not the oldest profession out there. It's going to exist whether you like it or not. Let's just make sure people aren't exploited against their wishes and that they can work safely and in full control of their own actions
"We encourage women to use their bodies for sport, for fashion, for art, for drama, for motherhood…" - stopped reading there.
"I have an opinion and I refuse to hear any other perspectives incase they cause me to think about anything".
look, the moment you put motherood into the discussion about the pros and cons of prostitution i don't care about what you have to say about it.
Yes, you really didn't read anything else I wrote did you. Good to see that Lemmy is just as full of people who feel the need to spout their opinions but don't actually want to engage with anyone else's. Why should people listen to you if you don't want to listen to anyone else?
i don't care about some online dudes explaining why (self)exploitation of girls and women can be stunning and brave, you can gaslight yourself as much as you want, i won't buy it. reminds me of a radio program i heard about a year ago when they tried to make a case how child labour isn't such a bad thing as long as they are allowed to unionize.
Having an OnlyFans account is freedom of speech too. And sex work.
I'm getting it from you apparently backing up the OP.
I'm not a mod. Neither are any of the people talking to them. None of us have the ability to silence them. I have no idea what you're talking about.
In what relationship can they be silenced beyond a mod doing it? Please explain.
Because more people are coerced into motherhood and it makes you uncomfortable?
Good advertising for your idiocy.
Probably the reason why you never learn anything.
